DEADY'S DECISION.

Railroads Relying on the Declsion to Nal-
lily the Haul Section Of the Commerce
Act.
New YORK. July 8-A Washington spec
ial says: The decision Of Judge Deadly, of
the United States District Court of Oregon,
with reference to the long and Shorthand
section, anticipated what it is understood
here is to be the action of some Of the lead.
ing railroad companies Of the country. It
is understood in railroad circles that the
Transcontinental lines will act in accord
ance with the principles laid down by
Judge Deadly, and will decide that the
conditions Of water competition are such as
to justify them in charging more for the
short than the long haul, and the rates for
through freights, established during the
period Of the ninety days suspension. The
indications are that by the time Congress
meets what the trainers OF the law consider
its vital principle will be defied by some Of
the leading railroads Of the country. But
it will be for the courts to decide what
their intention was as they have left it 50
ambiguous that the members Of the Com
mission say they can not understand the
chief section Of the act.

apples recently when an old cow ran
up to him and then away. acting very
strangely. Knowing that she was an
usually intelligent COW. he suspected
that something must be the matter,
and coming down from the tree, fol-
lowed her. She led him to a COW in

nearly chOked to death with an apple.
After he had relieved her the old COW

A DISHONEST CLERK.

A Trusted Onicial In the Treasury Depart
lnent Arrested for Swindling the Gov.
eminent.
WASHINGTON, July 9--Something Of q
sensation was created in the Treasury De-
partment yesterday afternoon by the dis
covery that Q trusted official in the depart
ment had been guilty of q systematic at
tempt to defraud the Government. The
officer was arrested at Wilkeskarre Thurs
day afternoon as he was about to take the
train for Washington, and his dismissal
from the service was ordered by Secretary
Fairchild yesterday afternoon. His name
is Oscar j. Harvey, and he has been en-
ployed in the department since June, 1885,
when he was appointed chief Of the horse
claim division Of the Third Auditors
office. 1t was while he held this position
that he perpetrated the frauds with which
he is now charged. On the I'd Of June last
he was transferred to the head OF division
in the Second ComptrOller's office, a divi-
sion which has charge of claims OF the
same nature as those in the division which
he had just left, and this transferrence led
to his exposure. Most OF the notaries and
persons named in the claims are known
to the department. In addition to
forty-three cases passed, there have
been $50 similar cases adjusted, aggregat-
ing $3O,O 600, and there are still pending and
unadjusted sixty cases, amounting to $l3,-
OOO. making total of 16l fraudulent cases,
which might have been paid but for the dis
covery. Harvey left Washington about the
LIST instant on short vacation, and, a. al
ready stated, was arrested as he was about
to return. He was brought to this city
by officers Of the secret service,
who have kept him under surveillance
since he was frs suspected. He asked to
see the Secretary, and when he was in
formed Of the evidence against him he
broke down completely and made Q full
confession Of his guilt. He declared that
he had been goaded to this action by .
man with whom he had been in partnership
and who urged him to make the most OF his
opportunities. He asserts that he had no
accomplices. Harvey was held in $4,000
bail for the grand Jury.

GRAVE CHARGES

The Son Of Henry Ward Beecher ChsPRoA
with Fraud and Other Grimes.
sEAN Francisco, July Q-rhe Chroniels de-
votes two pages to letters and afidavits
found among the effects OF the late Abner
L. Blake, formerly Deputy United States
Collector at Port Townsend. w. T., who
died under mysterious circumstances 1t
Chicago, last May, while On his way to
Washington. The articles show that Blake.
who had been removed from the customs
service, held to the opinion that H. +.
Beecher, son Of the late Henry Ward
Beccher, who was Collector ct Port Town
send, and who il now treasury agent there,
had defrauded the Government and in one
instance withheld from an informer the
money due him growing out Of large opium
seizures. The seizure in question consisted Of
fourteen barrels Of opium which was found
hidden IN the Alaskan bay, having been
placed there by the captain Of the steamer
Idaho. The seized opium was sold by the
Government for $4,000, Of which the in
former, G. N. Rouse, was to have received
about $l6,O 900. In the papers of Blake it il
shown that Rouse received no money, but
that Chinaman, All Cooy, of Victoria, was
substituted Is dummy" infOrmer, and
given &l33, although he signed Is having
received 5000. These and other serious
charges were made by Blake to the officials
at Washington, but no attention being paid
to them, Blake started East with documents
in person, but was induced to stop at Chi
cago, where he died. The affidavits included
those Of every person connected with the
opium seizure, including that Of All Cooy,
together with transcripts from the seizure
book at Port Townsend. Other affidavits
among Blake's papers, made by people at
Fort Townsend and elsewhere, charge
Beecher with collecting from the Govern
ment money for expenses and for the con-
struction OF boats for the use of the custom
service, In each instance larger than was
actually paid out by Beecher. In q letter
written by Rouse from Chicago. he ex-
presses the belief that Blake there met

steamer Evangel. Of which Beecher was
and by him was instructed I: re-
main at Chicago, and that while there
Blake met foul play to prevent his proposed
exposure, resulting in his death.
BLAKE MURDERED.
CHICAGO, July "a. L. Blake, whose sup
posed murder under sensational circum-
stances is mentioned in last nights dis
patches from San Francisco, was found on
the morning of May % at the Union Depot
in this city in an unconscious condition. He
was conveyed to the Harrison street
police station and subsequently re-
moved to the county Jail insane de-
partment. DIR. Bluths, who examined Blake,
gave it as his opini0ns that he was
suffering from conclusion Of the brain or
narcotic poisoning. The man had rallied
sufficiently by the following Monday to
lead the physicians to believe he would |
recover. Blake, however, continued |
in semi-comatose state and soon died. |
From papers on his person it was in |
ferred that he was on his way East to pre- |
Ter charges against Collector Beecher, but |
the matter attracted little or no attention |
here at the time.
